all true but in regards to the bolded part....yes it was put out to recoup the costs of CD, but in reality they could have released GH and CD and been that much farter ahead...i was saying from a buisness point of veiw that the CD money is still a lost expense untill CD is actually released, cuz that money was spent on CD ... not on GH, as you can plainly see from the packaging of the peice of shit

I think Neemo's right on this one. The label would have made that much money anyway. So it wasn't worth them investing $13 mil into the project, they already had roughly 3 million GH sales coming to them. Nowadays they probably wouldn't have sold that many but nobody would have predicted that back then, plus it probably would have sold a good amount. It's like ordering a seafood sampler at a resturant that comes with Shrimp, scallops, fish, mussels and king crab legs, and the waiter coming over and telling you there are no more king crab legs left. When you ask for a discount or something he tells you "Why, we're giving you Shrimp, scallops, fish, & mussels aren't we??".

few things are more annyoing that a pitty party for a bunch of grownup men who made their own decision and entered into to a contract that has, to date, offered them lots of money and acclaim while still offering the oppurtunity to do their solo work in down times. those poor babies.

Not to be a dick, but we have no idea how much money any of these guys pull in from their tenor in GNR. And I don't know anyone outside of these boards who even know who's in the band so I don't see what acclaim they might be getting.

Having said that, I do agree with your point about not feeling bad for them. They chose this, there are all sorts of ways out of it if any of them see the need to be done with it.
